Croatia Market Report


This report on Croatia was researched and written entirely by a human, G3’s Karen Carter, not by artificial intelligence. That distinction is important. Karen personally compiled the data,


conducted interviews, reviewed official sources, and applied her extensive knowledge of gaming markets to build a detailed,


balanced picture of Croatia’s gaming and economic landscape. Her human perspective ensures depth, accuracy, and context, qualities that no AI-generated text can truly replicate.

airports in Split (3.8 million) and Dubrovnik (three million). Extra flights and airlines have been added over


the recent years to cope with tourism demand. Meanwhile, there was also an increase in the number of cruises and passengers in 2025 com- pared to the previous year, with a total of 95 foreign vessels arriving in Croatian seaports, real- ising 758 trips compared to 86 ships and 736 trips in 2024. Tere were 1.1 million passengers on board coming from ships from 16 countries with the highest number of journeys under the Malta flag accounting for 30 per cent of the total trips realised in 2025. Te highest number of trips were taken to the


county of Dubrovnik-Neretva (46 per cent) and Split-Dalmatia (21 per cent). Tere are 216 nautical ports on the Croatian coast, of which 86 are marinas (21 are land marinas) with a total of 18,850 moorings in 2025.

in around €15.5bn. Of course, with that comes a saturation problem. Since 2016 the number of tourists to Croatia has doubled. Prices are rising and there is a housing shortage. Te proliferation of tourism apartments is a common issue with rising housing prices and inflation. Croatia has one of the highest rates of inflation in the EU, which registered 4.3 per cent in November last year compared to 2.2 per cent in the greater Eu- rozone. Dubrovnik officials have limited the number


of short-term rentals in the city this year and set up restrictions to allow a maximum of two cruise ships to dock each day simultaneously. Te ships must also remain in port for at least eight hours. For those ships with more than 4,000 passengers that goes up to 12 hours, all with the intention of preventing overcrowding in the city centre. Access to the city's biggest tourist attraction


(the city walls) can only be booked online whilst vehicle access is limited to those with permits. Tere are six access points to the city centre
